Say said it with you. I said, I'm in.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Excellent Love you for that. Before we get started, many
of you have asked why I'm calling this the Uppity
Knitter Podcast. Well, although I'm known as a singer songwriter,
folks are often surprised to learn that my face hobbies
are knitting and crocheting. The name, however, came from a
personal experience that I had in a knit shop on
(01:07):
the West side of La I walked in and saw
that there was a little knitting circle going on. So
I decided to sit down and sit down for a
few minutes and knit with these ladies, these white ladies
on the west side. And the woman sitting next to
me had some knitting in her lap, and I said, wow,
that's really that's beautiful. What are you knitting with? She says, oh,
this is just cotton. Then she looked over in my
(01:28):
lap and said, what are you knitting with? I said,
this is Kashmir. She said, oh, aren't you an uppity knitter?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh wow?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I said, what did you say? She said knitter?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I said nitter, So hit first and then out have
been like you say, you said nitter. I'm sorry, let
me help you up lay hands when I wanted.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It was so great to watch her face just turn
this incredible color of beat red that I'd never seen before.
She was so embarrassed that she thought that I thought
she said the N word, And I loved it so much.
So I've decided just to embrace that name from my podcast.
And now I'm inviting my favorite celebrities to talk about
their unusual hobbies. So Marlin, tell us what hobby or
(02:20):

Speaker 1 (06:05):
So what got you started collecting all those crazy sneakers?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Poverty? I remember I was I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I asked my dad I think I was in the
third grade, and we asked my dad for these Adidas
and he said no. So me and my brother went
looking for the Adidas and we found them for nineteen
dollars and they they this is when the shell told
Adidas was out, but.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
These didn't have a shell.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I came back home and my dad made us take
the sneakers back because he said nineteen dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Was way too much for sneakers.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And then another time and we got them on sale
for nineteen bucks.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So then another time I was going to find some
proquets and I was about seven eight years old, and
I was with my nephew's dad, Mark, and we walked
from sixteenth Street ninth Avenue all the way up to
Harlem looking.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
For a store to get the pro Kids with the.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Not the ones the two stripes on the side, because
those was twenty one dollars. I was looking for the
two stripes for the three stripes, and those three stripes.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Were fourteen dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I only had thirteen dollars and I couldn't negotiate with
the man for the extra dollars, so Mark gave me
the extra dollars so I could get those pair of
Pok Kids. And then from there I started working in
sneaker stores at Bonnie's New York. And I always said
to myself when I get money, I don't want cars,
I don't want jewelry, I want sneakers.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And now I have twelve hundred, thirteen hundred pairs of See.

designer clothes because I sneakers and clothes.

I went on to work in five sneaker stores, four
sneaker stores. Growing up.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I worked in athletes for US Athletics foot Locker, and
there was one more and I've worked there my whole
teenage years. And I used to dream about having my
own basically sneaker store Wow, I'm a true sneakerhead.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Do you have a pair of sneakers that are on
your radar or on your wish list that you don't
have yet?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yes, the easies, it's the easy twos. The ones he
came out with was black and pink. Those and his red,
the yeasy red octobers. They're like the red. This is
like the first ones he came out with, but now

Speaker 2 (08:53):

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Where do you store your collection? Is it the collection
in your house or at some storage unit an apartment
in Jersey?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Like that? Jel, I'm moving it all to a storage
unit because it's taking up too much room in my house.
And I, like I said, I just want my rooms
to be my rooms in my house to be my house.
I'm tired of like making a room where I have
people and guests, a room for clothes and animate objects
(09:22):
that I'm only I'm not gonna use.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Do you wear all the sneakers that you own or
do you buy some to collect.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Them some I don't wear them, Like I have sneakers.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I have a pair of It's funny because when Virgil
was doing the off white Nike collabos, I just kept
buying those because I loved them.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And then Virgil.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Passed and now all the prices of the sneakers went up.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
So you know, I'm just gonna hold them, do you ever? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
On Marlin's Closet, which is off my Instagram, you could
click Marlin's Closet and and I saw that, and I
saw clothes that I don't I no longer want to wear.
I wear it, and I don't wear my clothes a lot.
I got so many clothes, I don't wear them a lot.
So when I sell stuff, something something like brand new,
(10:10):
I haven't won it.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Allow.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
What is the craziest shoe You've ever collected?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
The craziest shoe I've ever collected? I wish I had
them out here. Craziest shoe I ever collected some of
the rick Owens Converse collebos.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
They have like these long, they long, and they have
like a square foot and and and they're weird, but
they're done. And maybe there was a pair of off
white Air Force ones that just came out that have
pink like treads on the bottom, but they look like
the their cleats.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So those are weird too.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And I got a pair of Elmo inspired nikes. They're
they're that uh, they're kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Elmo from from Elmo that difference from street don't Yeah, Okay,
have you ever been asked to donate a pair of
your sneakers to charity?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I have. I've donated to charity. I donate. I always donate.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Like I grown up poor made me look at my
projects and go, how can I be of service? And
so I you know, sometimes I've been thinking about going
to collabor with Martin's Closet to give kids and you
know in the in the hood sneakers for when they
go back to school they can feel fly. And also,
(11:32):
but I've been lately, I built their gym so that
then when they do where they sneakers, they have placed
to pay basketball. So I rebuilt the gym on my projects.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So where's that? Where's that? Where's that?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
On twenty sixth Street, ninth Avenue, The guilt nice.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I love that I'm trying to be somebody I think
you're only as success to me isn't what you achieves,
It's how you make people feel. And I think if
you can correct, if you know who you grew up
a certain way, and if you could improve upon that experience,
and you're at a place in your life where you can,
why not re raise yourself?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Why not you have an endorsement deal?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Not yet?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Do you have a favorite brand of sneakers?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know, I like them all, but I would I
would say, you know, I know a lot about sneakers,
so you know, I know about like I in college,
I actually did a report and I kind of winged
it because I did Rebot Pump versus the Nike airs,
and I broke down their mid soul, I broke down
(12:39):
their lateral support.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I broke down the function of the sneaker and which one.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Was better, And like I really I take the time
to educate myself on sneakers, and that's what from working
in the sneaker store. So I really like I like Nike's,
but I like it Daders. I think all of them
have potential. I just think who's the designer and and
you know, what's their take on the sneaker, Like Yeezy's
uh collaboration with Adidas is pretty fire, you know. I
(13:07):
think Jay Lorenzo's Jerry Lorenzo's collaboration with Nike and Fear
of God was dope. But now he's over Adidas as well,
so I'm looking forward to seeing what what he drops.
But I think it's all about the designer and what
their take is, and eventually I want to I want
to do.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
My own sneakers.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I was gonna ask you that I do.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I got so many dope ideas I'm going to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I love it. I would encourage that. I encourage anybody
to do anything that they are creatively inspired to do.
We're sitting here with mister Marlon Wayans, and we'll be
right back after this short break. Welcome back to the
Up and Knitter podcast. We're here with mister Marlon Wayans.
(13:50):
Check this out. I'm not a sneakerhead or a sneaker pimp,
but there.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's a sneaker pimp. You don't know what about people
where where you know.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
What a sneaker pimp is. A sneaker pimp is. There
was this English group who had somebody on the road
with them. Their only job was wherever they were in
the world. That person's job was to go around and
find sneakers for the people in the band. So they
dubbed him their sneaker pimp. So they wouldn't have to
(14:20):
go out and and buy the sneakers. He would go
get them and bring them to him wherever country or
city they were in. So I just discovered I don't
know if you've heard of this brand, but this shoe
baby is like butter. It's called apl.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Are you familiar.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh? Oh, I love them so much. That's the best
fitting shoe I've ever worn. It's like it's like air
pillows of air for my feet.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I just I don't even have a deal with this company,
but you know what, the best best sandals on what really.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Just not a track?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Crop?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
No, they feel like I wear them on the airplanes.
They're just super super comfortable. That and the fear of
God sanders are really comfortable too.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Crops are dope too.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I might have to check that I'm not a crop person. No, Nope,
you can take your cross to put them in the
river with the other with the crops. They probably You're right,
they would float right on down.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Love. They just it's just so soft on the bottom
of your feet.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It makes me not want to wear shoes.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I might have to try that, because I've seen a
couple of people, like I was in Vegas seeing the
Silk Sonic and in the casino they were everywhere, and
I finally asked this one woman, are those really comfortable?
She said, Oh, my god, they were the most comfortable
shoe I've ever worn.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So I might have to not even expensive. I got
mine for like one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Really, all right, how do you keep all your shoes organized?
DoD do you do? You photograph them and catalog them
in some way?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I photograph them on the outside.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I take a picture right right here, and then I
just place it so I don't have to open the
box up.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I know what it is like, all my shoes with
the shoes section, and.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They're all in the original boxes.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I try to keep the original box.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I don't do the whole plastic thing because I think
that something about when once the shoes oxidate, they start
turning yellow. So I like keeping them in the original Yeah,
like the soles will turn yellow. I like my soles
white and over time. You know, some sinkers you don't
have to get rid of because they're just it's natural.
They get over twenty years, they're gonna turn you know color.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Wow, I did not know about the whole oxidation thing.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And sneaker, Yeah, it's real.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And then to wash the sneak be cause everybody wants
to use well, we gotta use your solution of soap water.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I grab me some dove pink or white and some soap.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Tooth brush, baby, but I get a white wash cloth
so I can see what the dirt going and I
just clean them as soon as you wear them, then
you put them back in the box.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Nice do you have? Do you ever have certificates of
authenticity made up for the sneakers that you sell?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, but I do.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
When I do a thing for Marlin's closet, I'll sign
the card so that they know that you know that
they purchased it from me, and I'll write.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
A little letter like enjoy or much love, live, love laugh.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I'll sign the card and that's the seal of authenticity.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
We know you come from a huge family.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Do any of your other in a family A gang? Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
By the way, give kim my love. We used to
do a yoga class together in Santa Monica.
Speaker 3 (17:38):

kind of spirit, just nice people.
Speaker 1 (17:43):

didn't have to say squat to me in that class.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
No, No, she loves you. She's Kim's a big music
fan too. She loves you.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
She's sweet, just sweet. So do any of your other
siblings collect sneakers?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (17:58):

Speaker 3 (17:58):

Speaker 3 (18:00):
The only one Wow, kind of collected. But he has
one brand he loves. He has like maybe three brand
he loves and he's not for some reason. He loves
Giuseeppe is a note and he haves like, I don't know,
fifty pairs of those.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
He loves those.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That's design faithful, You're faithful? No, oh, I see, I see.
Do you do you find that collecting sneakers is therapeutic
for you? Calming? Or is it exciting and thrilling to
find a pair?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It used to be exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Now I'm at a point where I have so many
shoes that I started hating me every time I come
home and as a box from like fox X, and
I'm just like what did.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I what did? What did I find?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You sound like my husband when the Amazon boxes come
to the house.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh my god, I hate you. I come here sometime,
I come up the room and there's like fifty boxes.
I'm like, oh god, what did I.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You know Bill Maher would tell you to take ass
to the store and leave Amazon out of it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You know that, right, Yeah? Because did I'll starve to death. Okay, okay,
I don't have time to cook. I lo time to go.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Like for me, everything I like where the world is
right now, where I could just or this stuff and go.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Do you think that not just your celebrity, but your
your passion for collecting sneakers has helped you connect with
new people or people that you wouldn't normally be in
contact with in your everyday life.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I think it helped me connect with the youth's generational right.
So like my son and his boys think I'm the
coolest dude because I got all these old sneakers.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I got sneakers dating back to Wayns Brothers. You look
at Wayne's Brothers episodes, but oh, Marlon got the Jordan
Eleven's on and that's the first drop, Like I actually wore.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
The first ploblem Jordan Elevens and now they're reissuing them
and rebooting them and like, I wore the originals and
that's what my son gets so happy to be like, Yo,

play an instrument and he was playing. I remember he
had a trumpet and he used to play I think

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Excellent Love you for that. Before we get started, many
of you have asked why I'm calling this the Uppity
Knitter Podcast. Well, although I'm known as a singer songwriter,
folks are often surprised to learn that my face hobbies
are knitting and crocheting. The name, however, came from a
personal experience that I had in a knit shop on
(01:07):
the West side of La I walked in and saw
that there was a little knitting circle going on. So
I decided to sit down and sit down for a
few minutes and knit with these ladies, these white ladies
on the west side. And the woman sitting next to
me had some knitting in her lap, and I said, wow,
that's really that's beautiful. What are you knitting with? She says, oh,
this is just cotton. Then she looked over in my
(01:28):
lap and said, what are you knitting with? I said,
this is Kashmir. She said, oh, aren't you an uppity knitter?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh wow?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I said, what did you say? She said knitter?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I said nitter, So hit first and then out have
been like you say, you said nitter. I'm sorry, let
me help you up lay hands when I wanted.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It was so great to watch her face just turn
this incredible color of beat red that I'd never seen before.
She was so embarrassed that she thought that I thought
she said the N word, And I loved it so much.
So I've decided just to embrace that name from my podcast.
And now I'm inviting my favorite celebrities to talk about
their unusual hobbies. So Marlin, tell us what hobby or
(02:20):
hobbies that you have that Folks would be surprised to
know that you're into.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I have a bunch of stuff that I'm into that
I'm really not good at what I'm into.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh yeah, this was weird.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I never have enough time to get really good at
what I want to, like make a hobby.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I just I just don't have time because.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Everything all my hobbies normally with stuff that I was
interested in doing, like writing movies, and then after I
learned to write movies, then it.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Was, you know, producing movies. And once it was producing movies, it.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Was like, Okay, I'm gonna learn to do stand up
and now I'm doing stand up and so now outside
of my indus street of comedy and filmmaking.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I like music like I like, but I don't know
how to do any of it. I know. I got
a piano. I'm not great, but I play. I play.
I like I'm terrible. I can read music, but not
It's like third grade reading, right. I can't read it.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It doesn't go from my straight from the book into
my hand into the playing.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Got it.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I have to study, But I know some notes when
I get down here, I'm I get down the keyboard.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Some of those notes I don't know if that's F.
I don't know if it's to see close enough, that
don't sound right, that don't look like the key signature.
But I've taught myself how to.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Read music, and uh, you know, I like playing PA,
I like playing guitar. I just don't know how to play.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
But I've learned all the chords, like I know C
and I know A, and I KNOWD, I know C
and I know G and I and I know all
these chords.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I know F. But ask me to put it together
in the song. I can't do it. I don't. I don't.
This hand ain't working.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yet in my way, little by little to like songwriter.
I want to write songs right, but I don't have
time to make it a song. So I just write
a whole experience of stuff that rhymes.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's called spoke words. Brother, that's called smoking.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Word, but it's it's spoken rap, but it's but it
could be a song. I don't know, but I just
like expression, right. I think in this lifetime, I don't
want any regrets. My mother always wanted a musician in
the family, and we were all like, look, comedy is
our thing, man, And I love my mom so much.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That was my baby that you know.
Speaker 3 (04:40):

so that I can honor that for.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well, I heard that you collected sneakers.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That's another hobby. Okay, sneakers and clothes. It's sad, like
one of my rooms is full of sneakers and clothes.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I'm actually I started this thing Marlin's Closet because I
have so many clothes and I don't need that many.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I want to I want to change that hobby.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So I started this thing Marlin's Closet on my Instagram,
and I'm selling all my clothes.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I don't I don't want them.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I saw I signed something for the fans and let
them buy, let them have it warm by me, and
you guys enjoy it. But I just that was a
great time in my life. But I want I want
them more. Minimalistic lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I understand, how did you?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I just want to wear things that you knit for me.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I want to be up whoa careful gotta pronounce them.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Tease for I said, knitter, I have a New York accident.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You have a sneaker collection, though.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Right, I have a crazy sneaker collection.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So what got you started collecting all those crazy sneakers?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Poverty? I remember I was I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I asked my dad I think I was in the
third grade, and we asked my dad for these Adidas
and he said no. So me and my brother went
looking for the Adidas and we found them for nineteen
dollars and they they this is when the shell told
Adidas was out, but.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
These didn't have a shell.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I came back home and my dad made us take
the sneakers back because he said nineteen dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Was way too much for sneakers.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And then another time and we got them on sale
for nineteen bucks.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So then another time I was going to find some
proquets and I was about seven eight years old, and
I was with my nephew's dad, Mark, and we walked
from sixteenth Street ninth Avenue all the way up to
Harlem looking.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
For a store to get the pro Kids with the.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Not the ones the two stripes on the side, because
those was twenty one dollars. I was looking for the
two stripes for the three stripes, and those three stripes.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Were fourteen dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I only had thirteen dollars and I couldn't negotiate with
the man for the extra dollars, so Mark gave me
the extra dollars so I could get those pair of
Pok Kids. And then from there I started working in
sneaker stores at Bonnie's New York. And I always said
to myself when I get money, I don't want cars,
I don't want jewelry, I want sneakers.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And now I have twelve hundred, thirteen hundred pairs of See.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You got the front door.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, And I have a room that is filled with
designer clothes because I sneakers and clothes.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I went on to work in five sneaker stores, four
sneaker stores. Growing up.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I worked in athletes for US Athletics foot Locker, and
there was one more and I've worked there my whole
teenage years. And I used to dream about having my
own basically sneaker store Wow, I'm a true sneakerhead.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Do you have a pair of sneakers that are on
your radar or on your wish list that you don't
have yet?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yes, the easies, it's the easy twos. The ones he
came out with was black and pink. Those and his red,
the yeasy red octobers. They're like the red. This is
like the first ones he came out with, but now
they're like fifty grand.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So shut up.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Ain't no unless they speak French, ain't no sneakers worth.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Even if they speak French. I ain't bun no.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Who has the biggest of the best sneaker collection that
you've ever seen?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Me?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Really?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Where do you store your collection? Is it the collection
in your house or at some storage unit an apartment
in Jersey?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Like that? Jel, I'm moving it all to a storage
unit because it's taking up too much room in my house.
And I, like I said, I just want my rooms
to be my rooms in my house to be my house.
I'm tired of like making a room where I have
people and guests, a room for clothes and animate objects
(09:22):
that I'm only I'm not gonna use.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Do you wear all the sneakers that you own or
do you buy some to collect.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Them some I don't wear them, Like I have sneakers.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I have a pair of It's funny because when Virgil
was doing the off white Nike collabos, I just kept
buying those because I loved them.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And then Virgil.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Passed and now all the prices of the sneakers went up.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
So you know, I'm just gonna hold them, do you ever? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
On Marlin's Closet, which is off my Instagram, you could
click Marlin's Closet and and I saw that, and I
saw clothes that I don't I no longer want to wear.
I wear it, and I don't wear my clothes a lot.
I got so many clothes, I don't wear them a lot.
So when I sell stuff, something something like brand new,
(10:10):
I haven't won it.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Allow.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
What is the craziest shoe You've ever collected?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
The craziest shoe I've ever collected? I wish I had
them out here. Craziest shoe I ever collected some of
the rick Owens Converse collebos.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
They have like these long, they long, and they have
like a square foot and and and they're weird, but
they're done. And maybe there was a pair of off
white Air Force ones that just came out that have
pink like treads on the bottom, but they look like
the their cleats.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So those are weird too.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And I got a pair of Elmo inspired nikes. They're
they're that uh, they're kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Elmo from from Elmo that difference from street don't Yeah, Okay,
have you ever been asked to donate a pair of
your sneakers to charity?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I have. I've donated to charity. I donate. I always donate.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Like I grown up poor made me look at my
projects and go, how can I be of service? And
so I you know, sometimes I've been thinking about going
to collabor with Martin's Closet to give kids and you
know in the in the hood sneakers for when they
go back to school they can feel fly. And also,
(11:32):
but I've been lately, I built their gym so that
then when they do where they sneakers, they have placed
to pay basketball. So I rebuilt the gym on my projects.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So where's that? Where's that? Where's that?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
On twenty sixth Street, ninth Avenue, The guilt nice.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I love that I'm trying to be somebody I think
you're only as success to me isn't what you achieves,
It's how you make people feel. And I think if
you can correct, if you know who you grew up
a certain way, and if you could improve upon that experience,
and you're at a place in your life where you can,
why not re raise yourself?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Why not you have an endorsement deal?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Not yet?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Do you have a favorite brand of sneakers?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know, I like them all, but I would I
would say, you know, I know a lot about sneakers,
so you know, I know about like I in college,
I actually did a report and I kind of winged
it because I did Rebot Pump versus the Nike airs,
and I broke down their mid soul, I broke down
(12:39):
their lateral support.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I broke down the function of the sneaker and which one.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Was better, And like I really I take the time
to educate myself on sneakers, and that's what from working
in the sneaker store. So I really like I like Nike's,
but I like it Daders. I think all of them
have potential. I just think who's the designer and and
you know, what's their take on the sneaker, Like Yeezy's
uh collaboration with Adidas is pretty fire, you know. I
(13:07):
think Jay Lorenzo's Jerry Lorenzo's collaboration with Nike and Fear
of God was dope. But now he's over Adidas as well,
so I'm looking forward to seeing what what he drops.
But I think it's all about the designer and what
their take is, and eventually I want to I want
to do.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
My own sneakers.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I was gonna ask you that I do.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I got so many dope ideas I'm going to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I love it. I would encourage that. I encourage anybody
to do anything that they are creatively inspired to do.
We're sitting here with mister Marlon Wayans, and we'll be
right back after this short break. Welcome back to the
Up and Knitter podcast. We're here with mister Marlon Wayans.
(13:50):
Check this out. I'm not a sneakerhead or a sneaker pimp,
but there.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's a sneaker pimp. You don't know what about people
where where you know.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
What a sneaker pimp is. A sneaker pimp is. There
was this English group who had somebody on the road
with them. Their only job was wherever they were in
the world. That person's job was to go around and
find sneakers for the people in the band. So they
dubbed him their sneaker pimp. So they wouldn't have to
(14:20):
go out and and buy the sneakers. He would go
get them and bring them to him wherever country or
city they were in. So I just discovered I don't
know if you've heard of this brand, but this shoe
baby is like butter. It's called apl.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Are you familiar.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh? Oh, I love them so much. That's the best
fitting shoe I've ever worn. It's like it's like air
pillows of air for my feet.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I just I don't even have a deal with this company,
but you know what, the best best sandals on what really.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Just not a track?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Crop?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
No, they feel like I wear them on the airplanes.
They're just super super comfortable. That and the fear of
God sanders are really comfortable too.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Crops are dope too.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I might have to check that I'm not a crop person. No, Nope,
you can take your cross to put them in the
river with the other with the crops. They probably You're right,
they would float right on down.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Love. They just it's just so soft on the bottom
of your feet.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It makes me not want to wear shoes.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I might have to try that, because I've seen a
couple of people, like I was in Vegas seeing the
Silk Sonic and in the casino they were everywhere, and
I finally asked this one woman, are those really comfortable?
She said, Oh, my god, they were the most comfortable
shoe I've ever worn.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So I might have to not even expensive. I got
mine for like one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Really, all right, how do you keep all your shoes organized?
DoD do you do? You photograph them and catalog them
in some way?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I photograph them on the outside.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I take a picture right right here, and then I
just place it so I don't have to open the
box up.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I know what it is like, all my shoes with
the shoes section, and.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They're all in the original boxes.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I try to keep the original box.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I don't do the whole plastic thing because I think
that something about when once the shoes oxidate, they start
turning yellow. So I like keeping them in the original Yeah,
like the soles will turn yellow. I like my soles
white and over time. You know, some sinkers you don't
have to get rid of because they're just it's natural.
They get over twenty years, they're gonna turn you know color.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Wow, I did not know about the whole oxidation thing.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And sneaker, Yeah, it's real.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And then to wash the sneak be cause everybody wants
to use well, we gotta use your solution of soap water.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I grab me some dove pink or white and some soap.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Tooth brush, baby, but I get a white wash cloth
so I can see what the dirt going and I
just clean them as soon as you wear them, then
you put them back in the box.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Nice do you have? Do you ever have certificates of
authenticity made up for the sneakers that you sell?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, but I do.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
When I do a thing for Marlin's closet, I'll sign
the card so that they know that you know that
they purchased it from me, and I'll write.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
A little letter like enjoy or much love, live, love laugh.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I'll sign the card and that's the seal of authenticity.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
We know you come from a huge family.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Do any of your other in a family A gang? Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
By the way, give kim my love. We used to
do a yoga class together in Santa Monica.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I will she's the best, she's the not the same
kind of spirit, just nice people.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
She's a she's a sweetheart. I mean, I'm nobody. She
didn't have to say squat to me in that class.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
No, No, she loves you. She's Kim's a big music
fan too. She loves you.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
She's sweet, just sweet. So do any of your other
siblings collect sneakers?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Have?
Speaker 3 (17:58):

Speaker 2 (17:59):

Speaker 3 (18:00):
The only one Wow, kind of collected. But he has
one brand he loves. He has like maybe three brand
he loves and he's not for some reason. He loves
Giuseeppe is a note and he haves like, I don't know,
fifty pairs of those.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
He loves those.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That's design faithful, You're faithful? No, oh, I see, I see.
Do you do you find that collecting sneakers is therapeutic
for you? Calming? Or is it exciting and thrilling to
find a pair?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
It used to be exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Now I'm at a point where I have so many
shoes that I started hating me every time I come
home and as a box from like fox X, and
I'm just like what did.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I what did? What did I find?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You sound like my husband when the Amazon boxes come
to the house.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh my god, I hate you. I come here sometime,
I come up the room and there's like fifty boxes.
I'm like, oh god, what did I.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You know Bill Maher would tell you to take ass
to the store and leave Amazon out of it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You know that, right, Yeah? Because did I'll starve to death. Okay, okay,
I don't have time to cook. I lo time to go.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Like for me, everything I like where the world is
right now, where I could just or this stuff and go.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Do you think that not just your celebrity, but your
your passion for collecting sneakers has helped you connect with
new people or people that you wouldn't normally be in
contact with in your everyday life.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I think it helped me connect with the youth's generational right.
So like my son and his boys think I'm the
coolest dude because I got all these old sneakers.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I got sneakers dating back to Wayns Brothers. You look
at Wayne's Brothers episodes, but oh, Marlon got the Jordan
Eleven's on and that's the first drop, Like I actually wore.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
The first ploblem Jordan Elevens and now they're reissuing them
and rebooting them and like, I wore the originals and
that's what my son gets so happy to be like, Yo,
my dad got those.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Buy them in your size.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Oh yeah, my son's only in size eleven.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
